Krispy Kreme turns 88, celebrates with 88-cent a dozen doughnut deal: How to get it

AP Krispy Kreme's birthday discount is tied to its founding in 193 Krispy Kreme fans woke up to a sugar rush today as the legendary doughnut maker celebrates a remarkable milestone—its 88th birthday—by serving up the sweetest deal of the year. For one day only, on Friday, July 18, customers across the US can snag a dozen of Krispy Kreme's iconic Original Glazed doughnuts for just 88 cents—with a small catch: you'll need to buy any regular-priced dozen first. How to score the deal In-shop & Drive-thru: Buy any dozen at full price and get a second dozen Original Glazed for only 88 cents—limit two discounted dozens per guest. Online Pickup/Delivery: Enter promo code BDAY at checkout to claim a single 88-cent dozen with your purchase, available at participating shops and while supplies last. Standard prices for a dozen Original Glazed often hover around $15, so the promotion amounts to savings of over 90% for doughnut lovers. In the words of Krispy Kreme's chief brand and product officer Alison Holder, 'Eighty-eight has never felt and tasted so great. It's a real joy every year to celebrate Krispy Kreme's birthday with our fans and treating them to a special deal. We're so grateful for their love and loyalty'. Why 88 cents? Krispy Kreme's birthday discount is numerically tied to its founding in 1937—88 years of hot, fresh, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts. Its founder, Vernon Rudolph, originally slung doughnuts out of a North Carolina shop window, sending the scent of fresh yeast-raised treats wafting through the streets and drawing crowds. Today, the company boasts more than 350 U.S. stores and a presence in over 40 countries, with many locations continuing the tradition of signaling fresh hot doughnuts via a glowing red "Hot Now" sign. This year's offer continues the chain's tradition of turning birthdays into celebrations with big savings and fun. Past anniversaries have included giveaways and deep discounts, but the 88-cent dozen stands out for sheer value. Notably, this year's birthday festivities also coincide with the introduction of new menu creations such as the 'Hungry for Heroes' Collection, themed around DC Comics icons like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Important details: The deal is only available on July 18 and at participating Krispy Kreme shops in the United States and Canada. Not valid in grocery or convenience stores. Limits: Up to two discounted Original Glazed dozens per guest in-shop/drive-thru, one per online order. Promo code: Use BDAY for online orders. Availability: Valid while supplies last—so get there early; fans are expected to line up! As doughnut lovers rush to claim the sweet birthday bargain, Krispy Kreme's 88th continues its founder's legacy: 'Joy through doughnuts, every time the 'Hot Now' sign flickers on.'
